Steps to Open your Swimming Pool
Step 1
Begin running the filtration system:
- Turn on the filter system allowing the water to circulate.
Step 2
Test the pool water:
- Use the Pool Frog - Pool & Spa Test Kit to check the pool water chemistry, including pH, Alkalinity, and Chlorine levels. You must use the Pool Frog Test Kit when measuring the chlorine level. Test Kits can be found here → Pool Frog - Pool & Spa Test Kit (50 Strips)
Step 3
Balance the water chemistry:
- Adjust pH and Alkalinity levels as needed. pH and Alkalinity balancers can be found here → Pool Chemicals
- Here are the optimal pH and Alkaline levels: pH - 7.2 to 7.6 |Total Alkalinity - 80 to 120 ppm
Step 4
Insert a Pool Frog Leap Torpedo Pac:
- Turn off your filter system.
- Insert a Pool Frog Leap Torpedo Pac into the Infuzer Cycler (into open center of the Mineral Pac). You can find the replacement Torpedo Pacs here → Pool Frog Leap Torpedo Pac
- Turn your filter system back on.
If you installed Shut Off Valves with your equipment, close them AFTER turning off your pump and before inserting the Torpedo Pac into the Infuzer Cycler. This will stop the water from coming out of the pool. IMPORTANT: Remember to open up the shut off valves BEFORE turning the filter system back on.
Step 5
Add Chlorine Stabilizer:
- Add Chlorine Stabilizer at a rate of 2 lbs per 6,000 gallons of pool water. Stabilizer can be found here → Chlorine Stabilizer
- The Pool Check 4 In 1 Chlorine Test Kit can be used to check the Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) levels. Maintain levels between 60 to 80 ppm. You can find the test kit here → Pool Check 4 In 1 Chlorine Test Kit (50 Strips)
Step 6
Regular Maintenance:
- The Pool Frog Leap Infuzer Cycler has a dial from 1-10 that controls the amount of chlorine that flows into the pool. Turn the dial on the Cycler to the #5 setting. For the first week test the pool water daily for free chlorine with FROG Brand Test Strips to ensure correct dial setting. Continue to test weekly throughout the season.
- After each testing, adjust the dial up by 1/2 increment if the free chlorine reading has dropped below 0.5 ppm or adjust down by 1/2 increment if the reading has risen above 1.0 ppm.
- Remember to adjust dial by 1/2 increments only in order to prevent over chlorination which may bleach pool surfaces.
- Regularly test water with Frog Test Strips to maintain pH and Total Alkalinity.
